One of my worries would be loss of pollen, can't see any mention of that on the site.
If he isnt making any claims then perhaps he should provide them for free and if people want to keep them after a year, then they can pay as there is some risk perhaps of issues.

It's not on the entrance so I can't think they'd lose that much pollen on it.
...Personally I'm not going to be bothering with one this year but I'd be interested to see what results other people have and will ask around the association to see who is trying them out.
For the beginner, there are better treatments to investigate.

Familiarise yourself with the NBU/FER/DEFRA booklet "Managing Varroa" and the proven effective methods of control before bothering even to research novel, unproven and wacky ideas.
Managing Varroa can be downloaded for free (like many other useful {official} guides) from the Beebase site (where you should register your apiary!)

Have you got a good stock of little sweat bands and leg warmers?
Try reading them s l o w l y then"I don't understand some of the negative comments here"
Smoke and mirrors IMHO. another product from the snake oil salesman's chest of sovereign cures designed to gull and take money off the naiive
I cannot help thinking JBM that at the turn of the century you would have been one to campaign against, the introduction of the Motor vehicles as being smelly dangerous gimmicks!
